The purpose it cut down the version file to the size of the header: 32 byte. If you do that in a dir without the file you get an empty one, this will not work of course.

OK, that error message turned out not to be a touched file, but insufficient memory for it's checks.
My laptop only has 256mb, so I tried first with 40mb, 80mb, 128mb, but only 256mb worked. And swapped like crazy. Perhaps I can prevent this check from happening and run it with less ram allocated.

Anyone knows how to get to the SSD?
Hi there,
did anyone figured out how to do the actual flashing of the ExpressGate's SSD on Linux? I asked the question to ASUS Technical Support already some time ago, and all they had to say was "upgrading ExpressGate from Linux is not possible".
Any hints where to start looking for possible hacking places? (I've P5Q Deluxe with Fedora 9)...
cheers,
Piotr

I guess to find out what is different compare lspci, lspci -n, lsusb from inside and outside splashtop. Inside the device must be active of course. Then you at least know what to seek for. Maybe the bios cuts one powerline to the ssd when it is not enabled - i guess it is a standard usb flash.
